Lyrics

(Blazin)

(Hook)x2
And it was written;
Up in the book of life
That man shall;
Endure forever more

Well did you know the pen
Is stronger than the knife
And they can kill ya once
But they can't kill ya twice
Did you know distruction of the flesh is not the ending to life
Fear not of the anti-christ
Did you know that i
Exist before the earth
And did you know my eyes
Are windows to the world
Did you know you can't go ah zion and ah wear jerry curls
Can't tell di boys from di girls
Your body's just a vehicle
Transporting your soul
It's what's inside the people
Is beauty to behold
Fear not of evil
Everyday the flesh
It grow old
Changes of the times
Take a toll

(Hook)x2

Me say me want, freedom
Justice
Equality
As it was written in the book of life
Then;
So shall it be
Me want to big up marcus garvey and me big up hughy p
And me wanna know washality
And I meant, reality

I see it in the signs
Everyday I live
It's clear to my mind
Somethin' got to give
The system is the problem
But it ain't just gonna change
The people got to fight as one
To break free from the chains
We livin in a time
Where whitey got us cornered
Shackles on the brain
Police on every corner
Lookin for some soldiers
But they so hard to find
My elders say be patient
Cuz things come in time

Not fast enough because yo
They wanna rewrite me history
I made him a lot of mystery
Cuz we too strong for them dis we
Because it was
And now it is
And it will definetly be
We know
The days is up
Blaze it up
African warrior
Raise it up
Push it up
Fill up your cup
We had enough
We gonna buck
Now is the time
Open your mind
Then you will find
It's a design
No matter what you do
No one can stop the time

And me want no
Kkk, no cia, no
Police brutality
Ghetto youth and r.b.g.s
We ridin for liberty
Been here
Before the start
Still here
After it's over
And it's written in every heart
Of every soldier

(Hook)til fade out
